FRAM mon, a-citizenlof the UnitedStates, residing at i-artley, in the county oi' UBrien and Siate oiiowa,- havc invented certain new and useful In'iprovenients in Antislipping Attachments for Tires; and Ido hereby declare the foliowing to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art eo which it apgertains to make and use thesame.

This invention relates to improvements in antislipping attachments fortires or venuti-slipping attachments for pneumatic or cnshion tires, andhas for an object the arrangement of a pair of chains and cross chainsconnecting the same arrangedv in a substantial V shape.

` Another object of the invention the arrangement of chains in the formof a V connected to side retaining chaii'is having,r n yielding memberinterposed between each J construction.

A still further object of the invention is the arrangement of hooks;4for holding the side retaining chains to the V chains, and also thearrangement of a buckle orretaining pin for securing the ends of theretainingl chain. together.

Nit-h lthese and other obiects in View the invention comprises certainnovel constructions, combinations anni arrangement of parte as will behereinafter more fully de scribed and clain'icd.

Referring to the drawing by numerals, 1-indicates a tire of any clesired kind to which is applied theanti-slipping attachment einbodying the invention. The anti-slippingattachment is formed with side chains 2 an 3 connected by chains 4 and5. The chains Li and 5, together Iwith av double-'eye hook 6 and hooks 7and S make a V shaped structure which hoidsthe respective chains L andplan view oi n so es to resist-airy the Wheels.
